How to put my old files and folders in my new Windows installation?
ok I tried numerous ways of getting my previous instalation on a newly installed copy of win 7 x64
problem is, I can't see the recovery folder when I use the repair function
when I use it under windows 7 ... an error log comes at the end of the process in which MOST of my files and settings are skipped
here's what I tried:
-different admin users
-installing a second copy of windows on a different partition and trying to run the recovery with that installation, which didn't work because win7 keeps labeling it's main partition as partition C ... so my main windows partition is labeled differently and the tool can't write the files to their initial paths
-tried a dos tool, copied all the files and folders myself to the normal paths, this didn't work because of errors
I'm not an expert, but I get along with computers, now this has deffinetely proven very difficult for me, hopefully some of you can give me another idea on how to put my old files and folders in my new windows installation.
Cheers
